E-Fauna BC is an electronic atlas of the fauna of British Columbia. It provides detailed scientific information on the wildlife species of the province for use in conservation, education and research. When complete, E-Fauna BC will provide information on both vertebrate (animals with backbones) and invertebrate (animals without backbones) species in the province, including familiar animals such as bears and wolves, and less familiar animals such sea stars and sea cucumbers, insects, spiders and ticks, and much more. The aim of the atlas is to function as a centralized, freely available, "one-stop shop" for wildlife information in the province. ... [Information of the supplier]
What it means to be Canadian has often been demonstrated through people’s attachment to wildlife and wilderness. This is most evident in the iconic role that wildlife plays in Canadian currency, the popularity of wildlife art, and the billions of dollars that are spent annually on wildlife-related activities in Canada. This connection to wildlife was introduced to many Canadians through the popular Hinterland Who’s Who television announcements, or vignettes. First created in the early 1960s, Hinterland Who’s Who made bold use of a relatively new medium — black and white television — to reach the Canadian general public. The vignettes, produced by the Canadian Wildlife Service, brought native wildlife into living rooms using excellent film footage and simple narration. The new Hinterland Who’s Who series with its accompanying Web site will rebuild the connection thousands of Canadians made with wildlife through the original series. Increasingly, we not only want to learn about nature, we also want to understand how each of us can play a part in preserving it. The Canadian Wildlife Federation, one of Canada’s largest nonprofit, nongovernmental conservation organizations, plays a lead role in showing Canadians how to take action and make a difference.Together, the Canadian Wildlife Service and the Canadian Wildlife Federation are bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the rejuvenated Hinterland Who’s Who and to the Canadian public. ...
